Abstract: Exemplary methods, apparatuses, and systems including a programming manager for controlling writing data bits to a memory device. The programming manager receives a first set of data bits for programming to memory. The programming manager writes a first subset of data bits to a first wordline during a first pass of programming. The programming manager writes a second subset of data bits of the first set of data bits to a buffer. The programming manager receives a second set of data bits for programming. The programming manager writes the second subset of data bits of the first set of data bits to the first wordline during a second pass of programming to increase a bit density of memory cells in the first wordline in response to receiving the second set of data bits.

Abstract: This invention relates to a closable loop keeper strap for securing, storing, and transporting household, garden, and industrial items. By forming a strap from an elongated length of material having a flexible, openable, and closable keeper at one end and a hanger element at the opposite end, one can produce an improved, low-cost, re-useable load-securing strap. By folding the end of the elongated length of material, having the flexible keeper attached thereto, around a load to be secured, a user can form an adjustable and releasable noose around the load. The adjustable and releasable noose is formed when the user wraps the flexible keeper around the unfolded portion of the length of material and fastens the keeper to form a closed keeper loop. The user can then slidably position the keeper loop along the length of the elongated length of material to tighten and loosen the noose. The closable loop keeper strap can accommodate loads of varying size, shape, and weight.
